Hi all.

Well as you may be aware i have been running my car down the drags the last few weeks.

Last week i got in the mid low 13's with heaps of wheel spin, this week im going to change some stuff and will run in the 12's 4 sure.

As its my 23rd Bday on thursday, come down bring your $45, helmet, long pant and long jumper and lets make it a SKYLINE drag meet.

I'll be there !!  

At this stage i'm 75% competing and 25% spectating.  

Last week I found another 2mph (100 -> 102) and I believe their is another 2mph with some quicker gear changes.

i think i'll come too, but 100% spectating so someone can cheer on the lines with pom poms

in a few weeks i should be there 100% competing and by then i expect Eav00l to be saying 11's for sure :(

good luck benm, on more PB's, il be cheering

blitz - she has 14.5psi now, cant run 16 :rofl: need to get a head gasget to lower compression and she will push 20psi.

if i pull 11's im gonnqa run naked down the 1/4/... he he eh eh eh

make sure you post up the reaction time, 60ft and so on for this naked run if it ever happens ;)

I'm going to take my car for a run tomorrow night as well. I've been once before just after I bought the car last July and ran 14.5 when the car was basically stock. So this time with new FMIC, a little more boost (9psi) and more experience driving the car, I'm hoping to get close to a flat 14 or better if possible.

In any case, i'm getting my PFC installed and tuned next Friday, so I want to set a time tomorrow so I've got a benchmark to compare to once I run it again after the tune.

I haven't met anyone off here before, so hopefully I'll get to catch up with a few of you tomorrow (I'll be the lost looking bloke in the Silver R33 :rofl: )

The clouds are rolling in from the blue mtns altho appear to be heading sth west over c/town.

Outdoors temperature is 24.7c here at penrith (was 27c this time last week which resulted in 40c track temp)

Geeze wasn't that a massive turnout in cars. I ended up parking my car after the 3rd run to watch some of the action. Nothing like a pair of PAC Rotory Mazda's going head-2-head.

My runs:

14.009 @ 102.07mph / 2.089sec (NEW PB)

14.571 @ 96.01 mph / 2.311sec (Michelins don't like 4000rpm launch ;))

14.662 @ 95.29mph / 2.233sec (oops I missed 2nd gear whilst racing a GTiR)

So that leaves me only a bee's dick short of a 13sec pass still with a lot of explaining to do.

In detail:

R/T: 0.206 (PB: 0.035)

60: 2.089 (PB)

330: 5.888 (PB)

660: 9.080 (PB)

1000 Mph: 76.77 (PB: 79.84)

1000: 11.751 (PB)

ET: 14.009 (PB)

Mph: 102.07 (PB)

It's all down to getting more traction now :P

I was pretty happy with my run last night and I broke into the 13's which I was pretty happy about as well considering I was still having a problem getting much traction (damm Falken z386's!).

In detail,

R/T: 0.227

60': 2.247

330': 6.006

660': 9.067

1000 mph: 81.05

1000': 11.703

ET: 13.931

MPH: 101.37

It's interesting to compare times benm - your 60 foot time is heaps better than mine, your MPH is higher than mine, yet my ET was slightly better than yours...weird! I'm not sure what mods you've done to yours, but basically I've got FMIC, cat back exhaust, mines ecu (which i'm turfing for a PFC on Friday), K&N panel filter and 9psi.

I saw quite a few Skylines last night, although I didn't know who was actually from SAU. In hindsight, I should have just said hi, but I guess I'm slightly shy lol :cheers:

BTW, that 400R looked like a beast of a machine and I had both PAC Rotaries behind me in staging and they're both awesome looking cars (although I shit my pants for a second when it looked like I was going to line up against "THUMPER"...but he went after me which was good).

Good night overall...I'll definately be back in a few weeks time to see how it runs with the PFC and tune.

to say the least i was FU**KN Pissed off.

i was wondering y oi was only getting 101MPH at the end on high boost and pulling 14.0 ET

cheked my boost guage it was only on about 10psi, i got a boost leak somewhere high boost is set to 15psi and low is 12psi....

Bugger it im gonna put a head gasget on there and boost it up 2 20psi..

ill be out 4 a few weeks now guys

Tell me about it and it has been eating me up for a good 9mths now when I see other Skylines doing better ET's, slower TS's and worse 60ft's yet i'm still stuck in the 14's and they are doing like 13.5-13.9's with less power. With a 1.9sec 60ft i'd say I have an easy 105mph TS too :(

Click >HERE:)

'400R' is without a doubt the best GTR i've seen run at WSID. He wasn't even stomping it off the line, just taking off like normal and waiting for boost to kick in :)

I had 'thumper' parked behind me out the back in the lineup. I spent about an hour shitting my pants thinking I was gonna be up against him only for him to end up 2 runs behind me :) :)

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
